xCam2 security alert

My firewall is complaining that my xCam2 is trying to perform an outbound "ET SCAN Potential SSH Scan" from its IP (multiple different ports above 32k) to 169.254.99.8:22.

This happens several times a day.  My two other xCams do not exhibit this behavior.

What is going on here?

Hi there, xf_user1! Thanks for reaching out about the message you get about the xCam2. Our team is happy to help and get to the bottom of this. Have you tried to reset the camera and the modem which will give it a fresh connection? Are you seeing the notification pop up in the Xfinity app or do you have a separate firewall program that you use?

I have not tried to reset the camera yet, but the modem has had several resets.  This is showing up in a separate firewall.

Thank you for that info.  Can you try resetting the camera @xf_user1?
